What can I say? I was completely drugged up on cough syrup and needed to watch something that would be the visual equivalent of a lullaby.
But, somehow, I managed to stay awake through the four-hour telecast and caught a couple of note-worthy moments:
1) Marion Cotillard: The French-actress won the Best Actress award for her portrayal of French singer, Edith Piaf in the biopic, La Vie En Rose. She looked completely shocked and gave the most endearing acceptance speech in her broken English.
I have never seen the movie (or most movies nominated for that matter) so I can't really say if I think she "deserved" the award. But, I always root for the underdog. Plus, I love when people are genuinely grateful/shocked/honored when they win awards (think Amy Winehouse at this year's Grammy's); it just tugs at my heart strings.
Anyway, check out Marion's acceptance speech and allow yourself to fall in love with her, too:
Also, she looked absolutely stunning in her Gaultier gown!
2) Diablo Cody: The former, "unlikely" stripper won in the Best Original Screenplay category for her indie runaway-hit, Juno.I wasn't a big fan of her outfit: a leopard-print Dior number and gold flats she wore in lieu of the million dollar heels Stuart Weitzman designed especially for her. The dress was just a shapeless sack and the shoes gave her cankles.
But, she's Diablo, and I'll forgive her because she just seems so damn cool anyway.
Also, I love that she didn't even try to hide the pin-up girl tattoo on her arm. She's unapologetic and has such a devil-may-care (pun intended) attitude that I envy.
Seriously, I want to be her, or at least be her BFF.
